You can drive, but you can’t hide.
If you’re ever trying to remember what time you drove to the grocery store last week, just call your local police department. They should know.
As the Big Brother infrastructure continues to grow in a country that prides itself on freedom, Americans are increasingly losing their privacy. Among those people are the millions of drivers whose every movement is being recorded and saved in case it’s needed. In other words, your tax dollars are going toward the invasion of your privacy.
It started off with red-light cameras and speed cameras, but it’s evolving into automated sensors affixed to police cars, bridges and buildings. These cameras are running 24/7, recording the movements of every vehicle by its license plates.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never committed a crime in your entire life. Your movements are still being tracked. There are now millions of digital records on the location and movement of every U.S. vehicle with a license plate.
The government tells us that these types of cameras are needed to stop crime and terrorism, and to catch those who engage in those activities. They’ll say that without cameras, the Boston Marathon bombers would probably not have been caught and would have been free to attack elsewhere.
But how do we know that all the information the government is compiling on us won’t be used to harass us? Look what has happened just recently with the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency. These organizations are supposed to be non-partisan, but they’re persecuting the people whose views differ from that of the current Administration. What’s to stop law enforcement officials from doing the exact same thing?
So, how can we trust the government to do the right thing? Do you trust them, or do you have a problem with law enforcement agencies watching your vehicle’s every movement? What, if anything, do you think we can do about this? Please chime in with your thoughts.
Thanks to decades of American’s abdicating our responsibilities to elect responsible political representatives, they have taken our message to heart. We have demonstrated that we could care less whether they tell the truth, steal money or commit crimes and so the only people that seek political office are those that have no morals or integrity. We have showed them that they can gain amazing power and money and we don’t really care. So folks, that’s exactly what we got! Oh yes, perhaps 20% are well intended initially, but if you’re not a crook, it’s a hard place to work. And now, stupid American’s think we can dig out this nest of criminals with a few polite meetings between parties. They want action in Congress, but they don’t want to hear any of this name calling, arguing or accusations. You think these criminals we have created are going to give up all that power and money by just saying please. You know, I’ve seen a ham sandwich smarter than most American voters. Now that things are completely out of control and we are about to become a Socialist State and our children slaves to that State if Hillary Clinton wins, voters want a polite and civilized presidential campaign. I’m sorry folks, but if that’s your position, you are an idiot.
Too much to say, a lot of good comments posted, I say lets go back to original Constituti on and start over. Ammend as needed using Bible based principles, like it was intended, but I fear its too late for that. To all believers keep praying, to the nons, get saved!!!!!
Sadly i was in traffic court one day in Oshkosh Wisconsin to defend myself from a traffic ticket that I didn’t deserve. While waiting for court to start I heard a state patrol officer, a county sheriff, and an Oshkosh city policeman joking about how many citizens they ticketed that week. They thought it was funny to try to ticket as many Oshkosh citizens as possible. And no wonder when you look around at the courthouse and all the surrounding buildings with lawyers and attorneys and prosecutors and such. They have created such a huge monstrosity that the only way to pay for it is to TAKE it from as many citizens as they can. DISGUSTING! So all the traffic cams and red light cams and speed cams and cams on buildings and poles and such is no surprise. Apparently its “funny” and “necessary” to steal from the citizens that pay their salaries in order to pay for the courts and jails and support staff and attorneys.
Next time you are defending yourself from a ticket you don’t deserve, try just asking them for facts and evidence that they can even stop you. You are being convicted on legal opinion and not facts and evidence. marcstevens.net
I don’t get it. You are just the person that those camera are there to defend. If you did nothing wrong, then the camera will have a picture to prove it. Meanwhile all the people who are speeding, running lights and threatening the safety of our communities are penalized. They don’t give tickets to law abiding citizens. Those that chose to break the law should pay for a higher portion of maintaining the salaries and building that are put in place to ensure people pay attention to the law. I do hope this is allowed to be a two way conversation and not just one that supports the view promoted in this particular ariticle.
What country do you live in? You don’t have to be an innocent person to have something slapped on you.
I hope you realize that many innocent people are sent to prison on false allegations because they can’t afford a lawyer and the court appointed lawyers are in with the law enforcement. The whole system needs to be reconstructed from the original Constitution and not all the crap that has been added to it. It’s simple.
Now the Forest service or BLM has trail cameras on all forest roads and trails. All hidden, but there
Did you know the first three numbers of your SSN tell were you were born? Obummer’s first three numbers are from a man born in Connecticut?
No they don’t. I was born in Maryland. My brother was born in Oklahoma. Both of our SSN’s begin with the same 3 numbers because they were issued at the same time in the same state.
The Area Number (those first 3 numbers) is assigned by the geographical region. Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be the State where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant’s mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, either prior to 1972 or since.
Generally, numbers were assigned beginning in the northeast and moving westward. So people on the east coast have the lowest numbers and those on the west coast have the highest numbers.
I work for a DOT that has hundreds of cameras up for traffic management. They have 35x zoom and only if you’re close can they see your plate well enough to read it. The ones I’ve seen at intersections sense presence of vehicles to change the light. The loop detectors cause pavement failures so they are becoming more common as cameras are getting lower in cost than maintaining the loops.
The cigar box size units on police trunks are to be concerned with, they read your plate, send it ot the main database along with time and GPS coordinates, and check it against a watch list. Some states are limiting the length of time this data can be held, but who controls the delete button, really?
There are also pole mount or low box mount cameras that read your plate and record the vehicle presence in some database somewhere, so be watchful of them. The low post size boxes that look like common phone company BD5 or similar but sport a window, those can be temporary for tracking, moved quickly, and look like utility infrastructure.
Most all of these rely upon IR light reflecting off your plate to read them. I’ve seen posts on using reflective black material to cut out and place over your license plate letters and numbers so they too reflect the IR light and make it very low contrast for the optical character software to work with to recognize the symbols. This may or may not thwart the reader, but it is an interesting stealthy step towards privacy. It likely isn’t specifically against any state code as it does not hide or change the plate numbers, or obscures it for any humans, just makes automated harvesting of your presence a bit harder (hopefully).
Reflective spray is a felony in California. Wonder if the tape is also?
I’m of the state of mind that lives on the ‘trailing edge of technology”. I mean, not only is my ‘daily driver’ a pre-smog (built before 1973) pickup truck, but I don’t have any qualms about driving at night either. My license plates are not lit up, and I’ve even on occasion, walked from point A to point B wearing a baseball cap wired with IR-emitting LED’s. As a matter of my daily activities I hide everything that I do. I think that this makes me more difficult to keep me on their radar, but knowing the DHS, I’m not sure…
If more people did what you are doing you would be more anonymous. Unfortunately since you are likely the only one in your area found any of that “they ” can track your activities as some single vehicle and still trace it back to where you come from and narrow it down to you.
I too drive an older car. I ll let them follow my daoly track back and forth to work and shopping etc. I use spare time to practice alternate routes that don’t have cameras and turn off my phone on my days off. If they want to look for me and the first camera I pass is over the state line well good luck to ” them”.
If you are already doing this all the time ” they”will have you listed as a paranoid and probably have you on a terrorist watch list.
Oh yes and remember that cash is king. Electronic purchases will be easy to track. So let them track your Walmart and supermarket transactions. Don’t use cash for really large purchases either because that will also set off red flags.
Keep that old truck running. I love the oldies.
When can we get a unit to county act these caners ? it is past time we have a way a way block this out!
everyone who owens a gm with onstar and signed up for this service has already given the gov permision to track u till the vehicle is in the junk yard. or mabey u didnt read the fine print before u signed up
I knew this would be a big time subject to discuss. But believe it or not folks, it all started with ‘FORCING AMERICANS TO WEAR SEAT BELTS’. You take away “ONE” freedom, for the betterment of mankind, and soon others WILL follow.
If a woman can do as she pleases with her own body, then why can’t a man choose not to wear a seat belt if he chooses? Cannot a man do what he wants with his own body? It’s the same thing. Or am I wrong?
It is just practical to wear a seat belt whether the government or anyone else suggests it.The only reason I’m alive is because I was wearing a seat belt when a drunk driver rammed my side door!
so sorry, but when our insurance co’s. cut a deal with the Govt. to make us wear helmets on our motorcycles before seat belts, we lost Freedom. Start looking at the insurance industry for losing our freedom in America, because they are an entity all by themselfs. No one regulates them, they answer to nobody, and they are the Biggest Legal Crooks out in the world. I know because i have had ins. licences in 3 states in my life, and my wife was a controller for an ins. company. Insurance is the largest money maker World. There is no other industry that makes as much money as does ins. companies!!!! They control everything we do now. Think about it folks. Stay strong, fight for America.
I am in the insurance industry. In our state, there is no law that helmets are required for motorcycles. The insurance company does not require it, either. Each state has its own laws about this. The insurance companies do not mandate seat belts, either. That is a law having nothing to do with insurance.
Insurance companies are highly regulated!! Every state has its own laws about insurance and every company that operates in that state must abide by those laws in order to sell there. The feds have many controls on how much money insurance companies can make, how they can use it, how they invest it, and how they treat their investors, among other things.
As a country, we used to self insure. It is now government mandated that we buy insurance (look at Obama-care). It is providing funding for many people who would otherwise perish to remain alive and well. Perhaps you are one of them?
That being said, I’m sure it was a step in the direction of big-brother control. Many people survive that would have died before – that’s a subject for another blog… But the more “government” involves itself in personal, daily lives of citizens, the more dangerous it is. This is because power breeds power mongers who want to be able to control other people. They use many “flattering words” to convince people that it is for “their own good” while taking more and more control away from them.
It’s easy to be deceived. And the more you personally “need” support, the easier it is to fall for it.
Regulation by the government (such as the insurance industry experiences) illustrates that it’s not the industry that you have to be careful about – it’s the government behind it all.
Rich L., think you struck a nerve, nothing wrong with seat belt, its the government mandating your actions in the guise of public safety. Those laws were the cornerstone in today’s encroachment of our personal liberties. Seat belts have proven to save more lives than caused. It’s a no brainer to buckle up at highway speeds,but it should be a personal choice, not mandated by the government, I think there would be less stupid people in our society if a natural selection was allowed, and we didn’t have a government yoke on our backs. To be truly free in today’s modern world is impossible, to strive for most freedom possible is my goal. It’s getting harder every day. till the meek inherit the earth.
to me, all these so called laws are just another means of harvesting money from mostly working people. they really don’t care about our safety.
Of course it is different. Now, if the law was that you are denied medical care unless you can pay for it, and you are denied welfare benefits and Social Secrity disability benefits if you become disabled because of injuries suffered by not wearing a seat belt, then you are right. Personal freedom comes at a price.
My father once told me that it would just be a matter of time that when you were driving alone in your car and sneezed someone listening would say “Gesundheit”. ….he was ahead of his time. He died in 2006.
Hair spray and vehicles before computers ;).
I remember pointing the cameras out to my brother-in-law in the late 80’s . He tried to tell me I was just being paranoid , they were for light control for ambulances and fire trucks .I wonder how he feels now . We do not talk because of my views .
Tribes is the answer , communities that stand together , garden together , school our children together and tell big sissy to git their anti-constitutional butts out of our back yard ! That’s the how to .
I remember when they talked about changing the color of money from green to pink, or blue , it was in the early 80’s and wala I guess blue won out . The biggest problem for average citizen is we are so busy keeping our heads above water . We can not see these governing sissy pukes plan things and then work them into us over a twenty year time span .
Actions without reactions is why We the people will never git up !
Now , we have a foreigner whose father is Cuban and his mother a questionable American, running for President , wait ain’t that what we have now ? Dam , back to back foreigners for President . How much more of a hint do you need ?
I for one have grown tired of saying “told you so ” and of course the torries who benefit from obeying big sissy ;). I put my truck in the shop to fix a leak in my shifting linkage and yep they fixed it but I had three new leaks . I ask them to check the brakes , they felt like they were sticking . They claimed they were fine, all four disc and right after that they locked up and these super mechanics were unaware that a 1978 truck had shoes on the back tires;) . They kept trying to buy the truck from me and I just kept saying not for sale . They hit me with $455.89 bid to replace the rear seal , and then we would talk about the brakes . proportional valve was out .I had to tell them, I got peeved and again explained I was a mechanic , I was just to bunged up to crawl under and do . Anyhoo , when I went to change out the rear seal which intails taking the drive shaft out . I found they had taken the needle bearings from two of the u-joint caps and then put it back together and they cut the rear seal to ruin it as it was only a year back I had replaced it myself . I did let them know I knew and make it a point to tell any and all not to go to allens automotive in coleman , Texas as they are liars and thieves !
Folks you must get away from more and bigger . Back to community values and all for one and one for all . This is the only way you can even contemplate squeaking thru what is coming our way , promise .
I love when I preach to refer to Jesus sayings because one they mean more than you notice and then someone such as myself points out a thought , in the thought and folks git it . Now that is a good feeling, promise.
Love thy neighbor as you love thyself ;). Git it ?
One should know love , from loving their self first ;). How you love your neighbor IS how you feel/love yourself ;). Git it ? God for ewe, promise ’cause there ain’t much time left to do !
Actions speak volumes ! Promise .
We are slap dab in the middle of “1984” for real
It was at first a good book now it is
real life.
Oh yeah! What country are you from? I and Ted Cruz were born and raised here. Obama, not so much.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada of US parents. Does not matter where Obummer was born; his mother was a US citizen.
John McCain was born in Panama to a Naval Officer and an American woman, both of whom were US citizens, therefore John McCain was a natural born US citizen.
I am not a natural born US citizen. My Mom had a C-Section in Chicago! LOL
Not true if you know your constitution
Terry – In fact what matters is where Obummer’s PAPA was born and his papa’s citizenship: Barack Obummer,Sr was a Kenyan native under UK jurisdiction … hence Obummer,Jr IS NOT and can NEVER be a natural-born citizen, you can’t change the facts of the past. Doesn’t matter WHERE he was born, whether in Hawaii, in Kenya, or on the Moon!
His pappy was not a US Citizen so Obummer is disqualified to be U.S. President, hence he is an illegal President (not an illegal alien as so many of his buddies are :) …. however the “Constitutional Dolts (umm, I mean “Exspurtz” (sic), are brainless and can’t figure out the clear & reasonable historical treatment of “natural born citizenship” – and NOT to be confused w/ the 14th Amendment.
The problem with dual citizenship of his parents is hence the dual allegiances he has … very bad for a [supreme] Commander-in-Chief …. And this is Barack Hussein O Jr’s difficulty he has demonstrated time, after Time, after TIME !!!! He can’t overcome his father’s allegiances to another country (I doubt if Obummer,Sr was very allegiant to the U.K., but certainly much more so to Kenya and Muslim influence than to the US … and this was clearly passed down to his son, Obummer,Jr.
Why do you think he has such a hard time shutting down the Islamic State and any other Muslim aggressors. It’s because his pappy, and his step-pappy were BOTH Muslim! So whether Obummer Jr is a Muslim or not, he’s at the very least a Muslim sympathizer who is incapable of using sound judgement of being the Cmdr-in-Chief of the world’s most powerful military.
So yes, he is a Constitutionally illegal president.
And unfortunately I believe it also disqualifies Senator Cruz’ elligibility … which I don’t like because Ted Cruz is my 1st choice for President. :-(
I hear you and understand, but you need to remember to office of the president should always be respected regardless of the human that holds office. I am new to this space, but in order to unify we have to show respect to those we disagree with . We have to take the “High Road”. Harder but better nothing is easy or free. Kindness prevails, but one must always be prepared ,
Listen to this. I ran into some info.Obummer is a CIA lacky from Switzerland and is only a Temp,and has had brain implants as all he does is watch Sports Channel all day long. Think of those implications.
I’m a 20 year Vet, and just because somebody holds any kind of Office or Position doesn’t mean they are Qualified nor Care. I was more concerned as Enlisted to keep our aircraft up and ready, especially in Desert Storm than the Zero’s.
Then why does Obummet and entourage continue LYING about where he was born. Even Michelle’s school info is off-limits to us general public. Just like Obummer’s. They are disgusting. Mimi
There is a difference between a natural-born citizen and a naturalized citizen. Cruz is naturalized. Only natural-born citizens can be president. Pull out your head and take a breath of reality and actually read the constitution.
Government completely controlled buy the bankers and the bankers are controlled by Vatican the pope is the leader of the one world government. We need to start to formulate our answer . I think we need to go back to commune law have to out law corporate law and all corporations in this world. and give all assets back to the people the workers . Need to lock up the bad actors. Must stop New world Order SOON:
Frank…and to your many loyal customers and readers…as a relatively new member to F4P, I have been reading and following your thoughts with interest and agreement. Although I am a strong believer in every American citizen preparing for…and being able to protect and defend themselves, I am not…in any way…”anti-law enforcement or military”. Having been employed in government service for 37 years and now retired from both military and local law enforcement, I can tell you that the vast majority of the thousands of public servants I’ve worked with through the years and different levels of government, very few were not “storm-troopers” that were out there anxiously prowling to find US citizens to violate and abuse! I have unfortunately been witnessed to far to many unprofessional and even criminal co-workers discovered, investigated and prosecuted for their willful deeds of misconduct! I have been in a number of occasions where I witnessed wrong-doing and either as a witness against them…or as a internal investigator working the complaint and eventual prosecution, I recognize that government employees are nothing more that a cross-cut of society. Not robots and drones, but created with common communal standards and personal biases that are sometimes unacceptable and undesired! The fact is, that most US citizen expects far “too much” from our front line government employee(s). We expect total freedom to come and go and do as we will…while demanding total protection. “The government and law enforcement are there to protect us so we can go about our lives without fear…as a sheep…totally ignorant of our surroundings and the big bad wolf. The reality, much to the ignorance and chagrin of most American citizens, is that law enforcement is vastly understaffed…over-committed, and frequently falls woefully short of the demands and expectations of our society. Much of this is because of a mistaken belief that everyone knows what’s best to protect society. I mean, we watch television and movies… right? Because of the sensationalism from television, movies and fictional stories portraying clairvoyant brilliant detectives, or to the completely opposite… reckless cops that protect and serve and all cost, usually defying superiors, polices and other legal constraints. What…in fact… we think we know about our law enforcement and military…is often…just simply…wrong.
The simple answer is police cameras, whether they be dashboard installed or traffic monitoring trunk mounted, or even those mounted on intersections and strategic public locations ARE NOT there to spy on the public movement or activities!! Local jurisdictions don’t have the time or resources to sit around watching the mundane movements of average citizens. Can you imagine one sitting above an ant bed trying to monitor a specific ant…or group of ants movements? Its obscured to even think of such a conspiracy…or otherwise abuse of power and resources!
The reality is these cameras and their placements are for “review” when events occur. They are designed to improve the effectiveness of “human” eyes and mental capacity. Boston was maybe a perfect example of the improved capabilities to law enforcement!
Unfortunately the greater problem that should get the attention…criticism and the blame of our citizenry is our political leaders that choose to circumvent the rights, privilege and expectations US citizens were granted within our US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Those “misdirected” law makers who refuse to protect our county and our way-of-life and choose to re-interpret and lead as DICTATOR’s and OBSTRUCTIONIST, self appointed to alienate our historical allies while protecting and furthering the ill-intentioned objectives of our enemies! Frank…and followers…lets stop pointing fingers at police and military and the surveillance that detect stolen vehicles, wanted criminals and potential terrorist related communications. Instead, lets elect and engage elected officials who will secure our borders! Stop using federal agencies as their personal “hatchet crews” designed to seek out and destroy their “domestic enemies”. Call terrorist by their name and their true ideology! Re-institute dialogue with our international allies. And…once again demonstrate and make the United States of America the loudest and strongest proponent of individual “basic” human rights!
Tony, nice try. That is your personal experience with government. We all know better. Its that blind obedience and trust that has placed us in a situation like we are in. Look around. The Gestapo Alphabet agencies are everywhere, arresting the wrong folks. The government’s PC thought police are out along with your illustrious Homeland Security searching for we “terrorists” out here who speak out. Please. I am sure you are a good man, but lower level government just follow orders like the good patriotic folks you are supposed to be. Now…go do what they tell you.
Thank you Tony. Well said. I agree!! I’m not doing anything I’m ashamed of that can’t be tracked, so I don’t have a problem with the police’s ability to track me or catch me on camera somewhere. And when a child is kidnapped and the authorities are able to track them down using those same cameras that others feel violate their rights–I’m just happy we do have systems that we have.
Once someone goes to the “paranoid” anti-government point of view you can’t rationalize with them anymore. I’ve seen it first hand locally–in my home town– and I see it here. We don’t think or feel the same and can’t relate to one another’s feelings (of anger) or points of view anymore.
No need to name call Tim. It is Tony’s right to share his thoughts and views. I thought he did a respectful, rational job of it.
In our next election we need to get rid of all of the bad guys,and you know who they are.Be careful on who you vote for.As for the president!! be careful. We dont need the same old “SHIT”. Wake up AMERICA.
I don’t think Obama will allow another election to take place in the US. I think his plan is:
– Wait for a major crisis between now and election time if one doesn’t happen, invent one.
– Declare Martial Law to Save the Country
– Assume Roll as Dictator.
– Escort non-compliant citizens to FEMA camps for reeducation
Pray that I’m wrong
God Bless one and all
I think you are absolutely right and thought so and said so are several years. The thing about it is: it’s in our Constitution. Why someone has not taken a potshot at him is beyond me.
That’s because the people that so disdain the ‘curse’ in the White House are also people who love and believe in the constitution and the rule of law.
I, too, suspect O may be our first dictator but not waiting for a disaster. I suspect much of the turmoil stirring up across the country is being promoted behind the scenes to result in crisis. With all the hatred being stirred up between citizens & police, blacks & whites, etc.; then crash the economy and / or power grid . . . send in the military. He’s already nearly there with the law he gave himself and is using without the consent of the people. Only half a step for the completion. On the upside, this shows how much closer we are to going “home”. Praise God.
It was the intention of the founding fathers that not only should a government be afraid of the people it governs, it should consist of the governed. Even with the constitutional safeguards built in they could not have foreseen this brave new world and the technology in it.
Sadly despite their efforts to prevent it, a “ruling class” of politicians has emerged including effete political science and law school graduates of whom many have never been rreal-world participants, and politically inbred families such as Roosevelt, Kennedy, Schriver, Bush, and others that have been spawned in the last 120 years. Their wealth insulating them from the consequences of their actions. Their decisions regarding privacy have little detriment upon them since they have guaranteed their protections in advance. Various and sundry trust funds protect their wealth as well as an army of fellow lawyers and tax consultants. They are effectively protected from “enforcement” agencies such as the IRS or the impending ACA (abominacare). Indeed,if you speak out against any of them directly, expect an impending investigation and harassment as Dr. Carson experienced after panning theACA whilst standing right next to its namesake! Jon Adams Thomas Jefferson and John Hancock would be horrified at the current state of things! They, along with otherssuch as Washington Hubbardton Allan and Revere fought a revolution against a governance less POTENTIALLY controlling as what
looms in our future. Great good can come from this time, but great tragedy is also portending unless we embrace the eternal vigilance that our freedoms require. As a wiser man has said, “If we forfeit our freedom for security then we deserve (and will receive) neither”. Eternal vigilance and participation in our governance and NOT abdication is the answer.
Criminal &terrorists are not as dumb as the government thinks. They can change license plates for every trip they make. Our govermentdoes nothing to stop people from crossing out borders, they have signs that depict families running through the passage way at the border entrance so you don’t hit them. Any terrorist can go to Mexico andwalk rightin, as well as other illegals from any nation that prefers to enter our country without being recordered. Just a few things I can think about. Imagine what things THEY can think of. Just another way tha tObama can enslave theAmerican citizen into giving up our freedom and going around the constution. Since he was an instructor on the constitution, hewell knows he is doing something illeagle. Goes to show how Power Corrupts. What next? Will he outlaw our Constitution with the stroke of his pen? I’m old enough to have the audacity to refer to him as a Bonafide Brat. His connection to the Muslim Brotherhood does not bode well for the Brat, nor our Country of the United States of America. I was born here, lived here al my life; and,anyone who doesn’t like MY Country can take a hike right out of my contry back to whatever Black Hole they come from or would prefer to be in.
Our country is America. The United States of America is the corporate name of the union formed by the 13 original sovereign states (nations) in 1778 under the Articles of Confederation. It is not a country anymore than the European Union or the former Soviet Union. Personally, I think it is high time the States retake their sovereignty and dissolve the federal union. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union some 30 countries regained their independence and most of them are doing quite well (or at least no worse) without being under the thumbs of the Kremlin, Politburo, and KGB.
Um…we fought a devastating warover this very subject. Remember? The upshot is that we are a Union…a Union of States…One Nation Indivisible.
First…if I repeat anything others have put in, sorry. I did not read all the comments. So, having a vivid imagination, as soon as you said…license plates and tracked, my first thought went .. pop.. when will they build a chip or ?? right in the license plates to home in always and forever? Why use sporadic cameras. SO, then my other first thought went back to the 55 Alive class I went to last summer. The “teacher” was a local gal that is an insurance sales person. She told us of a device you can voluntarily (so far) have put in your car FREE (from your insurance company). It tracks you, watches your speed and any misjudged happenings while you are on the road. She had one put in 3 vehicles at home. She went someplace and as soon as she got back to the office went into her information from that vehicle and could see any speeding (she had) and other things that may be used by the insurance company to know if you are a good risk, or whatever. Okay, if she (insurance agent) can do that, certainly the authorities (I can’t remember if she said) can also. My immediate reaction is why would anyone voluntarily let someone put a devise in their car that does that. And of course, we all know that now it is available, soon cars will automatically have one installed during the manufacturing process.
They don’t need the cameras…and with an imagination like mine I think that they can do almost anything they want now in the name of preventing crime and terrorism and FOOL most people into thinking it is a good thing.
They already put chips in to new cars! They have been doing this for a couple of years. Do you have a little red light flashing on your dashboard? Gee I wonder what it is? DUH… Reportedly, There has been legislation pending that it be required. That means then the Gov’t would also have management and oversight of the activity. I would be surprised if it isn’t already a done deal…
The EPA made it mandatory by model year 2004, that all automakers must have transponders installed. Homeland Security has been busy having the infrastucture for this built out more thoroughly nationwide. big brother knows where you are, how fast you are driving, how many miles you drive, and more.
Shopping stores have cameras and monitor everyone too. If it helps dissuade the bad guys from doing crime, so be it! Where I drive my car I have nothing to hide. Get real. Most folks who need to hide from the Police or State are probably doing something they are not supposed to.
where you drive your car you have nothing to hide????
yeh…thats what we all say….but they will get you when they want to….regardless of whether you do anything wrong…and maybe someday …..soon,… even though you do nothing wrong
in Gods eyes ……but in the eyes of a crooked government….thats enough to warrant them pinning anything on you
then again, that’s not the point, is it!
you would (or do) willingly give up your legal rights to privacy, waving your 4th, 5th, and 10th amendment rights just so some1 else “doing wrong……maybe” can be seen/caught? REALLY?!?!
as Franklin, i believe it was, stated “he who is willing to sacrifice a little freedom for a little security, deserves neither.”
due process is thrown completely out the window!
GOOD CALL!
You, unfortunately, will probably end up in a FEMA Camp struck with total & complete bewilderment as to WHY you are there.
It’s because you THINK that because you have “done nothing wrong,” they will leave you alone. Dream on. People do not realize that you cannot reason with EVIL. They don’t do things because they are logical or reasonable. They do them because they get off on the “reward” of being able to say jump to someone at gunpoint, and that person has no choice but to ask, “How high would you like me to jump,” Massa. They have already made slaves out of all U.S. Citizens.
Please think about this famous quote, “There is none
so ENSLAVED as he who THINKS he is free.” You, my friend, THINK you are free. If so, why do you need a license to drive? Do you really think it’s because it makes the roads ‘safer?” If so, why do so many people with licenses drive like crazy people? A license is PERMISSION from to government to something that THEY consider to be illegal, immoral, or otherwise NOT PERMITTED. Not permitted by WHO? Are they your Daddy? Oh they think they are. Check out the Parens Patriae doctrine if you think not. Wake up, man and smell the coffee.
I also feel afraid both for my country and myself,any Vet can remember being in some country that had been stable and happy a short time before war or some other catastrophie ruined it.It takes time to get their ducks in rows but when they’re ready it comes down quick.Put your supplies in a safe place and always be ready to BUG OUT !
I am at a loss, I don’t think that our president, etc. is open to anything the people have to say, i am a Christian i believe we are in end times, truly bad, (Evil), times. And this president is a fore runner of a very Bad leader to come. So i would just say Hold on for the ride.It will be ruff. I Pray you find Jesus!!
I agree. It is my pleasure to share a message from the Word of God. The world is like a large field. The farmer/God plants a field of wheat/Christians/Jews. Then the seeds of tares/thorny plants start to grow among the wheat. The tares are allowed to grow amount the wheat, because to pull up the tares would damage the tinder wheat. When it is time for the wheat to be harvested, The wheat will be taken to a safe storage/Heaven and the Tares in the field will be burnt. That time is so near. We can’t stop the craziness in this world. All we can do is pray and trust God to dill with all responsible for the great Evil in the country and the world. And he will. He has the power, greater than the Demons.
Fed has now stopped QE, but have they just replaced it with a “Requirement” for banks to buy Treasury bonds and hold until told to sell. Somehow our country has became a toy for a non-gov group to play with, Fed. We need to change this very badly. Fed is so strong they can not stop deflation from coming soon. I will take inflation of 18% interest rate before even thinking about deflation. It will be very hard to recover from deflation.
down the street a car with 3 people stopped and they got out, walked up to a house, knocked and person answered door. 1 of 3 ask “Can I get my phone now ?” Answering person said ” I do not have your phone, ” Visitor said ” OK we will wait for police then.” Person said ” Oh is this your phone?”
Yes phone was recovered from being stolen at mall. Phone was turned off when stolen, but new device tracked phone down easily.
Most new cars can be turned off while you are driving at any time, not just tracking you but turn engine off anytime.
I’m a VA COPD patient on a 24/7, 6-leter/minute O2 flow-rate prescription. The Home Oxygen supplier for my service was recently changed, whereupon; the new oxygen regulator I received for my walk-around oxygen bottle has an electronically controlled flow-rate selection feature. As an 28-year career aviator, with copious experience using oxygen regulators; I can assure you that nothing in the normal, extremely-efficient function of such an device can in any be enhanced in its designed performance, by electronic circuitry!!! … Albeit, whatever this creation may entail: I’ll certainly NOT be surprised when suddenly, for no discernable reason I’m without oxygen-flow, with ample quantity still in the bottle.
I’ll ABSOLUTELY NOT be having the RFID chip, DECREED by the AHA (ObamaCare) scourge, but those who do shall be subject to the same potential “kill-switch” feature, I suspect of this regulator device. …
“Those who persevere to the end, shall be saved”!!!

Let them watch! If you are doing nothing wrong, why do you care that they waste their time and energy? The only thing that bothers me is that they are using taxpayer dollars to do it!
If that is true bout the ability to deactivate an engine why do we have so many hi-speed chases
I don’t know about shutting the engine off, although this is very possible based on the following. I heard that Major US automakers can prevent your car from starting if you are delinquent on your car payments. This I know for a fact from another person. When this happens you call the creditor up and give them a credit card for the delinquency and they have it turned it back on, Otherwise they leave it off and have it towed. I think it is linked to the navigation system or concierge systems in newer vehicles.
I, FOR ONE, AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS LIBERAL; BULL$HIT RESPONSE. AND DON’T KID YOURSELF, IT COMES FROM A LIBERAL MIND-NUMB SHILL, THAT CANNOT REASON ITS WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG.
YOU HAVE NOOOOOOO IDEA WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG THESE DAYS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE ONE MAKING THAT DECISION. THE JEWS IN GERMANY DIDN’T THINK THEY DID ANYTHING WRONG EITHER, BRAIN DEAD.
A couple of reasons, as I understand it. First, the car has to be close to a device that can send a deactivation signal to the car. Second, they don’t want to use them in most cases so the public will remain clueless.
Martin Dyer; What if you express a political opinion that the current administration (local, county, state, or federal) doesn’t like. Given the vindictive nature of politics today you could be pulled over for every minor infraction or even no actual infraction and harassed to distraction.
You should care that they watch you because it gives them the ability to do whatever they want to/with/against you. Whether you are doing anything wrong has nothing to do with it! They can find something wrong with what you do – you don’t have to be complicit. It can be for no other reason than you go to the “wrong” church, or your child is not earning A’s at school, or you spend more money than they think you should, or the company/boss you work for is not onboard with them, or you don’t support the “right” party or person, or government program. It’s still big-brother control. Read the book “1984”.
You ask “Who do you trust? Would you trust them to do the right thing? Are we to be exposed to the whims of any Government Agency that can affect our daily lives because they don’t see eye to eye with me?
The truth be told, how can I trust “them” to do the right thing, when the right thing constantly changes. What was held to be right “today” may fall out of favor tomorrow. Instead of being honest and up front, it is easier to be “less than honest” in using the English language to express a courses of action, like I just did when I used the term “Less than honest.”
When people, corporations, Government officials, and Governments use vague language to convey and express their ideologies, thoughts, policies and procedures, only to incorporate these vague verbiages into our laws, creates confusion, discord, and anguish for all. By increasing the “grey area” these entities have created wiggle room to take advantage of a give circumstance or situation. Instead of calling a use car a used car, it is now called pre owned. In a subtle way, the word “used” has been replaced by that of “who had owned the car prior to you.” It does not denote that the vehicle has been used or not; only that someone had owned it before you. Used denotes wear and tear of an item. Wear and tear can be substituted for used and abused or beaten up. Terms that are not very flattering to the buyer or the item being sold. This prevents the seller from getting the maximum value of a car that is put up for sale. However, by misdirection and putting a positive spin on a word can create a new value and understanding of the object you are trying to convey to the customer.
When our Government uses terms like, “Person of interest,” “Weapons of mass destruction,” “Combatants,” an so on. The use of these words are to alter and/or cheapen the true meaning of that word. It removes the iron that is in the original word itself. It cheapens not only the integrity of the word but of the user creating distrust and suspicion. The term double talk comes to mind; or what the Indians of yesteryear use to say, “Whiteman speak with forked tongue.”
So how can you trust someone that doesn’t say what they mean? I know that I can’t; even if it means my friends, my Government or its representatives. It all falls back to honesty and integrity. If I can’t trust my Government then; it only stands to reason that my Government is not hampered by a consciousness of doing the right thing. Spying on its own citizens under the pretense of “For your own GOOD” is a down and dirty way of being lazy. There is nothing like being stalked by my own Government that says, “it is for my own good.”. Who is to say that Law Enforcement hasn’t already accessed these surveillance cameras? All you have to do is to watch the 6:00 news to see that a camera, somewhere, photographed a disturbance somewhere and the cops need your help in identifying the “person or persons of interest.”
Lets keep in mind that there are new tools out there that the government and companies use to keep tabs on you. RFID Chip, Radio Frequency Identification Chip, found in your Credit cards and Debit cards can be accessed without your knowledge. It has your personal information stored in the chip. For example, your name, credit card number or bank account number, medical information and so on. Insurance companies have a device that can be attached to your car. It gives them your information about you and how you operate your car. There is also a chip in your car that gives about 5 minutes of information about your driving ability, just in case you are involved in an accident the car will tell inspectors what happened, when it happened, how it happened and what you did while it happened.
Your cell phone has a GPS chip in it which can be accessed to tell someone where you are and where you have been. Your cell phone can be accessed without your knowledge, even be turned on to secretly record your conversation. All this and more, “for your own good” so say the Government.
Nothing like your Government acting like your parents, “I know where you are, where you went and what you did while you were there. I even know what you said and who you said it to” Sounds like “1984” has become a reality only thirty years late – or was it?
I remember when I had a TV antenna and it was free Service. I remember very few commercials then. Now that I paid the cable bill they charge me to watch all the commercials and track my habits. I thought the commercials paid to be on TV I didn’t know I had to pay to watch them. Big Brother is watching us even in our living room
You think that is bad, check your own COMPUTER. If you surf the web, there are so many cookies and malware that attaches to your computer system when you hit a site, so many in fact that slow down your system and can actually hurt your computer and cause issues. Most of these nasty malware are to “track” where you go and what you do on those sites. It is so mind blowing, that often I have thought of just closing down my whole system and refusing to use the Internet any more. Of course if everyone did that, the Net would implode. But I need to stay in touch with family and friends, so what option do I have…except one. I run SpyHunter technology that scans my system and removes all of the Malware that has attached to my computer. You can scan your computer as often as you want, but if you are on the Net more, you need to scan more frequently. It’s stepping ahead of the game that helps, but with technology expanding at a rate far exceeding the “fixes”, we are caught in a fun, but intrusive web.
As for the cameras all over the place, are they Fed Govt. controlled or city controlled. You need to know whop is doing the watching and who has access to the videos. I saw a license plate the other day that was so dirty I couldn’t make out the numbers. Hmmmm, perhaps I should do that to my license plate. Or attach a cover to the plate. If stopped by an officer, just say the Cameras are not obeying the Bill of Rights that guarantees all Americans Freedom from Invasion of Privacy. You can give the Officer your car license number, but refuse to remove the cover until all the Road cameras are removed. If more people did that, we would be controlling the govt., instead of them controlling us. Our Founders never meant for the govt. to control the people, that is why our Bill of Rights was written…TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE, WE THE PEOPLE!
If you want to see a Series on TV about Cameras and “Big Brother” watching you, check our “Person of Interest”. It is exactly about what can happen if a computer entity becomes so strong and controlling that even the govt that created it can’t control it. It is realistic and telling about what can happen if we let this “control” thing get out of hand. Check it out. The show has been on for a couple years and morphs throughout its run.
….you always do this, right?!

AMEN! DON j
Watched a movie on TV, three days later Amazon was asking me if I wanted to buy the same movie. They track everything you do
It’s an Obamanation! Or is that an Obama Nation?
Well King Obummer will have it if “We the People” don’t do something about it. What can we do? Vote those who do not support the constitution and the freedom of the people out! Do some research and know what and who you are voting for. Question Authority, research the candidates, pray.
Faith is important…but faith without hope promotes futility. But there is hope also for a change of leadership. A real bright, humble and very successful neurosurgeon is being encouraged to run for president. Dr. Ben Carson. Look him up…he’s the real deal!! Support him!
It’s one thing to have faith…and that’s important but faith without hope does not promote positive emotions. However, there is hope. There is an intelligent leader on the horizon who thinks and speaks in truly realistic terms. Dr. Ben Carson… Remember that name, he’s the real deal!!
If you are not doing anything wrong or not trying to cheat the government or on your spouse, than why are you so worried.
If you are so concerned with what they may see or hear you are up to, than maybe you need to be looked in on.
We may not always trust our government with the information they have or are collecting. But they have been able to keep another 911 from happening so far with some of the info.
Thank God I am able to live in a country that at least is doing its job in looking at others, looking at us and most of all looking after us.
Your comment makes my stomach churn. Your absurd nonchalant stance is EXACTLY the sentiment of the German people in the ramp of the Third Reich.
You may believe that whatever it is in your oatmeal life is not against the law, but what if the laws change to suit the current regime? What if the Constitution is rehashed, or done away with altogether? Then suddenly, you find yourself on the fringe of society and your every move is tracked simply because you didn’t agree with current policy and wished to be left alone? Now it is too late to stop. You’ll find your peace behind the razor wire of a DHS holding facility.
In all of history, governance has been responsible for the largest number of human casualties, by orders of magnitude greater than any other cause.
You think it can’t happen simply because this is America? Pick up some history books and then have a good look around you. It IS happening here and now. Tyranny is a slow wind up. It never simply happens overnight.
Wake up and be an American instead of a pathetic societal zombie!!
So right! They targeted the Jews to give the people a scapegoat. Then, as the holocaust was in progress, they improved the economy, which made the people happy enough to ignore the horrors. Now Christians are being set up as the targets here.
When you give permission to an authoritative body to have an open reign to do as they please, then at that time they become and authoritarian govt. instead of a govt. for the people it’s a govt. for the govt. and those that are in power in the govt.body start thinking that they are the only ones with rights, so keep the attitude that you have, and keep letting them in your bedroom anytime that they want, and when we have to surrender every right that we have, then remember that just because that they have done some good with the power that they have doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be held accountable for all the wrong that they are doing!
One right doesn’t make up for the 100’s of wrongs.
Kenn Anderson ISSC SWOC (RET)
You are such a good little sheep. Maybe they’ll come for you last.
Silence of the Lamb.
Help me understand how tens of thousands of illegals, many from Muslim countries and China can just disappear within our borders and our loving leadership just can’t selectively track them. Many with multiple arrests for criminal and violent activities. Many are on terrorist watch lists. Our gov’t is just so innocent
Steven, don’t look now but I think the Boogeyman is hiding under your bed. Turn off your TV. they are only trying to scare you.
Yes there are illegal aliens in this country. But the mass majority of them want to live her than in their own country because they want a piece of the American Dream.
Don’t forget to leave the light on.
Actually, many terrorists are infiltrating in the midst of the regular illegals. There are places in every state where they have their own societies on the down-low. They’re just setting things up for the final conquest. As for the regular illegals, if they’re breaking the law to come in, how much respect does that show they have for our laws?
Do you have to wait until a problem occurs to be concerned? Do you need to be hit by a car in front of your house before you bother to think about the speed limit there? Do you need to wait until someone drowns in your pool before you consider putting a safety fence around it? You are remarkably short-sighted to only be concerned if there are already problems happening. You remind me of the “no one spoke up when they came for every one else and now there’s no one left to speak up when they come for me” situation. Any thinking person realizes that you need to think about the potential for problems before they become reality.
Unfortunately, people like Mike don’t look towards the future because they live in the here and now. I call them the third heard. Like cattle, they only live to consume, grow fat and happy. As long as their little world isn’t shattered they will remain fat and happy. They will never rock the boat, they are happy to have a seat on that boat, as long as their needs are met then life is good, there is nothing to worry about, all is right with the world, at lease in their world.
until that boat pulls up to the slauter yard
Idiots all!!!! Who defines what is wrong? Ride with a police officer just once as I did and you will find that any car can be pulled over. Touch a center line with your tires, slow down a few miles below the speed limit, follow too close, signal too late, reach for a drink of water and wiggle, have a pretty girl in the car with you, don’t come to a complete stop at a stop sign and get pulled over. As my officer friend said, “I can find a reason to pull anyone over!!!”
So, in shot, be a human being and you can and will be pulled over. the laws are in their (Government) favor. I guess it was the rude awaking for you when you found yourself on the other side of the fence. Welcome to reality.
911 was perpetrated by our own government …… As was ’93 WTC, Oklahoma , and the assissination of William McKiney, John F. Kennedy, Pearl Harbor……surveillance will turn into shock callers…… But maybe some of us already need shock treatment
Hey Wolfd, you sit in the dark a lot don’t you. It shows.
The reason why we still have O’bama is because of the millions of Republicans who did not go out and vote in the last election…Hope they are wiser now and will get off their behinds this election and in 2016,
Tell me something Mike, when you stand before a fence do you look over the fence or do you turn around and face the other direction?
So why is it that my Government and yours doesn’t trust us, have faith in us, doesn’t do right thing by us? Why must our Government keep records, personal records, on me and you? Why is our Government so afraid of us? Don’t we have the right to privacy. Don’t I have the right to say, “that it isn’t any of your business?”
If you want to roll over and get your tummy scratched like an ole dog, that is your business. But don’t you ever give my rights away because you are to lazy to be vigilant for your own. I have nothing to fear. I don’t want people or my Government in my personal business just because they or it can. What I do is my business, what my government does is my business it is a one way street. I am in charge of my destiny not you or my government.
your right have already been given away.
just keep on thinking you are “safe”……and when they come for you you’ll be so surprised… you’ll think; “how did this ever happen?”
Have you lost your mind? Unless I am doing something that is bringing harm to others, what darn business is it what I do in my own home or car for that matter. It is folks like YOU that is helping the government’s cause. They have no business listening in on private conversations in my home. You are foolish to think otherwise. Folks with your mindset is a danger to the rest of us. Let’s see how you feel when they one day come for you. Oh, that’s right, by then it will be too late, but heh, you are not doing anything wrong so I guess you won’t mind.
“”” so don’t worry about it your vehicle if it’s under 20 years old is already bugged!! “”” D is very right. 2 cars stolen from rental car company, computers were ” turned off “” by police and cars were found.
Missing cell phone, 3 people showed up at a home, knock on door, door opened, person was asked ” Please return my cell phone “” person said ” do not have your cell phone “” then knocker said will call police then get search warrant person said ” Oh heres your cell phone ! ! ! Shows cell phones can be tracked off or on anytime.
Seems to me the answer is to drive an older car, take care of it, live without electronic devices(I know it’s hard to even consider), generate your own power off the “grid”, purify your own water, grow your own food, etc…oh, wait. That’s what Frank Bates is helping us do. Booyah!
except for the living without electronics part – I love finding out new things online!
Same here. My dream home would be off-grid except for communications. Can’t afford it now, but, if the Lord tarries, praying for prosperity so I can get ‘er done. :)
You all explain the rights infringments as if we are helpless to respond. I say let them film me as i boycott big bussiness. First goes the cable that is designed to brainwash and instill fear , next is limited and precise internet use on secure browsers, we can walk outside and engage our nieghbor . Through united effort . the working class are more powerfull than any elitist group because we are america however, we must realize that we are being fed poison to dumb us down like catttle for the slaughter. I am reminded of our heritage from a personal bible issued to world war one troops in 1917. It was picked up off the battlefield and still shows a spatter of blood sacrificed for this idea of a republic by the people and for the people so help us God. Bottom line is that if you dont stand for something then you will fall for anything. Sacrifice can be voluntary or mandatory and we stillhave the freedom of personal choice. May God bless our fallen soldiers for Christ. Amen
The gov is rolling out new licence plates, they will have a chip inplanted in them. Im taking a hammer or cutting shears to mine.
Don’t forget that there is a RFID chip in your driver’s license. That is how the cops know how many times you have been pulled over, when the last time you were pulled over and by whom, and for what you were pulled over; all before they even look at their computers.
A microwave is supposed to be able to disable a RFID chip. Not sure how long to bake it, but it’s a good experiment.
you forgot about the movement to place backup cameras on all cars, insurance company’s wanting you to use plug in devises that track how you drive and does anyone think the government isn’t trying to place sensors in cars that will track your every movement when you drive along with the microchip implants that are being brought out, all just to force control the populace.
I am afraid that it is too late to vote out the criminals from the offices they hold. It seems obvious to me that electronic voting has led to the worst voter fraud this country has ever seen. If law enforcement can watch every vehicle with a license plate, why would anyone believe that the election process has not also been tampered with? Sadly, this plan of government takeover has been in process for over 100 years. Indeed, the big-money bankers have been planning this scheme since before the United States ever won its independence. The Revolutionary War and the Civil War were more about independence from European banks, such as the Bank of England and other wealthy names in Germany such as the Rothschild’s, the Bilderberg’s, and others. Their influence which started the 1st and 2nd Bank USA in the first half of the nineteenth century led to one of the worst depressions in the history of the United State around 1840. I believe that Andrew Jackson fought them and outfoxed them during his presidency; but they were always trying to destroy the free economic system which America had at that time. It was a direct threat to their power. The aristocracy was well entrenched in such personalities like Alexander Hamilton, and this thinking was already well established in the South even in colonial times. These wars were mostly about money and who would control it. Abraham Lincoln pushed out the money changers with the idea of the “greenback.” He paid for that bold idea with his life. Today the international corporations are in bed with the bankers – the money changers. These big money interests have been behind corrupt governments and most of the wars in human history. There is much profit to be gained by chaos. If you think that this is not an ancient problem, consider the ire of Jesus when he cast out the money changers from the temple in Jerusalem. He had some of the harshest words for these people, and this was His most violent rebuke recorded in the Scripture. Jesus used a bull whip to drive them out and turn over their tables of thievery. He told them, “My Father’s house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” If you have studied the original Koine (Common) Greek language of the period as I have, you would find that the literal translation of “a den of thieves” is a cave of robbers. Just think of it; Jesus was describing these characters as those who planned their thievery in a hideout, a cave! Today, just as then, these criminals have planned their scheme in their modern hideouts in plush offices and mansions which they bought with the taxes they pilfered from the people. The Federal Reserve and the IRS were the invention of these people to fleece the American people over 100 years ago. It is known that they got the legislation through Congress in the dead of night, with out a quorum, when Congress was in recess for the Christmas holiday sometime around 1907 if my dates are right. By 1913 they were in control of the finances of the nation. Interestingly, 1913 was near to the beginning of the First Word War; and 1917 was one of the worst years for world chaos, war, and persecution since 1812. It was also the year that the Ottoman Empire fell. As I said, the big money interests thrive on chaos and war. Now years like 2013 and 2017 are like a centennial celebration for the richest and most corrupt gang of thieves the world has ever known, apart from the Mafia. And I am not so sure that they don’t also have a hand in this, too. Barack Obama is due to leave the Presidency in in early 2017, if he doesn’t decide to stay longer. The Russians are also beginning to reassemble their empire of hegemony 100 years after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Of course, they fooled us in 1989. Stalin, Khrushchev, and of course Karl Marx had stated long ago that if they ever lost power, they would make it appear as if the West had won. They would just play possum until they regrouped after they had convinced the West to lay down its arms. That is exactly what happened, and we are seeing the results in the Crimea and in the rest of the Ukraine. Much of Eastern Europe must be very uneasy these days, especially since the Communists have one of their own in the White House. Barack Obama’s sanctions would be a laugh if it weren’t so serious of a problem, The Russians, particularly the Communists, only respond to steel force. They know that if we apply sanctions, the American economy and what strength is left in our nation will suffer the worst of it. Vladimir Putin couldn’t care less about our week-kneed threat of sanctions. Military force, like John Kennedy applied back in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, is the only thing that they understand. John and Robert Kennedy also paid with their lives for their actions. All I can say is, “God help us!”
What would Jesus Christ, expect of me?
Did He not say take Care of those who can not care for themselves ? Would you give your child a stone to eat?
(note: in recent days less than 365 days a New Tax Deduction of $ 200,000.00/year, for those who pay taxes, July 1, 2014 another Tax will be activate, for the Wealthy; I ask why, most people pay something for the Common good. But many pay nothing through Loopholes in the Tax Code. (I know many personally; do not misunderstand I am Not one of them and honestly would not, if I had the income. Because I know the reason for taxes; such as feeding the less fortunate. Now days it is the Millions of unemployed.
The United States of America allowed those super wealthy to DOWN SIZE and ship the Jobs off shore, where those poor souls have so little and will take 12 cents per hour and in some cases are Slaves Chained literally to walls where they work (Children are killing themselves, because they have no hope) Who knows how many jobs were sent to other impoverished countries, think MILLIONS and Millions. If you will put as much time and investigation into counting those jobs and then count those who’s unemployment checks have stopped (they are No Longer Counted) the percentages will astound you; think 35 plus % not 7%. But the Millionaire and Billionaire’s get the Tax Cuts Plus.
We agree on a lot, but God Created me with something called (non conflict of interest) I pay all my Taxes and often wonder why is it that so hard to admit wrong doing’s when I am wrong it is upfront and out for all to see, but too many want to Place Blame where it is not due. Honestly President Obama was a Surprise to me also, but Congress was not. Remember Vice President Chaney ? He wrote a book I bought it and READ it; then President Obama PARDONED him and others; see if you can find out why.
I am one who has given my wealth to the poor and needy Survival is not in my destiny other than what The God that goes by many names provides; He has not put me down yet.
I was reading your statement when this popped into my mind. My mother would take us to McDonalds when we were very small, and buy my brother, sister, and I milkshakes. Being three kids we each had a favorite flavor. I like chocolate, my brother like strawberry, and my sister liked vanilla. My mom would ask us if she could get a taste of our shakes. With out hesitation or reservation my sister and I shared our shakes. My brother on the other hand refused. He refused to the point of being stingy.
There are people out in the world that are like my brother. If there is a way to avoid their responsibilities, to cheat the government or other, or have someone else pay for the load instead of them; then they will do so. These people believe that what they have is theirs and they don’t have to share with anyone. They are not afraid of the consequences unless they are caught, because they believe that they will never get caught.
Other people were brought up to lie, cheat and steal. They see it as it do to them before they do it to you. It is for this reason our Government needs to be held to a higher standard. They must be held as a square deal Government. That is to say that our Government will not lie, cheat, or steal from its citizens. Otherwise, who will put their trust in a government that will not or can not keep its word?
If everyone pays 15% of their income as a flat tax our government will fail. Right now our Government has over extended itself on the National Debt. If you don’t have a growing tax base then the government will become stagnated and fail. I don’t mind sharing with those that don’t have; but, I’ll be damned if my government takes from me that which I have earned.
Driving out the money changers is also the ‘crime’ Jesus was crucified for, a little known fact.
FYI, I worked in the auto industry for 30 some years, and to make a long story short tracking devices have been in automobiles for many years, it was offered as an option like on star and you paid for that option but it was actually cheaper from a production stand point to have it in all cars than to not, these devices were put there originally to allow the vehicles to be found when stolen, which was supported by the insurance industry but has caught the eyes of our so called government in the years of its existence, so don’t worry about it your vehicle if it’s under 20 years old is already bugged!!
Thank-you Mr. Johnson for the history lesson, according to you. I agree with you that there is a strong thread that is common to all of what you had said. I can argue various points with you and it would be a nice discussion. However, I really don’t have the time or energy to do so.
I have been saying this same thing for years now.. the government spends our tax dollars on spying on us. Our freedoms are becoming nonexistent, yet what are WE doing about it? Its not enough to come on to sites like this and complain you need to be active… sign those petitions, VOTE, campaign with someone who is worth it, put your money behind them! Help them win so THEY can change those rules in favor of the people… the longer this goes on the harder it will be to fix. The welfare voters will keep voting those people in that give them something for nothing and they will be harder and harder to get out of office… take a stand DO SOMETHING!
Indeed, true. Amazing if you add it all up. The FCC’s ability to cut into any TV or radio broadcast at any time they please so they can prevent people from receiving information about a government take-over and gathering in masses and building a militia, mob or whatever it takes to fight back, the newly built and countless detention camps built all over Fort Benning, Georgia, etc. Sure they’ll tell you any lie they can about the purpose, but we should all have enough common sense to know, if the US was being overrun by it’s own government, the best way to do so, is cut off communication to the masses and take control of everything and everyone. Detention camps could easily be explained by this… where will you find lots of American patriotism is in the military and they also have many soldiers with firearms, henceforth why the soldiers on the installations are required to have their weapons in the government’s locked up armories. Simple fact is that they can take over the soldiers who love their freedom and are willing to fight and die for it by placing in strategic regulations so they won’t really stand a chance to fight back. The ones who do, will be in those camps. Brilliant idea. Give a man a gun for his job because you say he is honorable enough to have one, but don’t allow him to have his own in his home. We all know that it never seems to be the weapons legally obtained that end up killing innocent people. If someone wants to do something like that, it usually a “hot” firearm that does the dirty deed because it’s stolen, untraceable and an easier getaway weapon. When I was at Fort Polk, Louisiana, we had a soldier walk up and start shooting at one of his NCOs. You can guess… Hot firearm and poor guys on the balcony of the barracks building defenseless and being shot at. Good thing the guy was as drunk as a skunk and couldn’t hit a blue whale from across the parking lot. Even the FCC has regulations against broadcasting on radio waves. Simple. They can’t interrupt the signal fast enough for it to stop communication. Most people don’t own a radio with enough wattage to really do them any harm and get the word out fast enough to make a difference. I wish it were still the government serving the people, rather than the people serving the government. We should remove them all from office and retake the nation and return it to it’s roots, while putting almost all of these politicians on trial for high treason against the people of the United States of America. Sad how even the word America has been mostly removed from the references of what was once a wonderful and powerful nation. May God bless the USA and it’s real citizens and patriots and protect them all.
The ACA (Obamacare) is another insidious intrusion against our personal freedom…that in many ways is failing…and some think that it’s programmed to do so. Why? So the gov’t can socialize the health field. This is an important step for a power seeking dictatorial gov’t. People were sold on the idea of “helping the less fortunate” which is noble…but the truth is, there is another objective that is less noble.
This is a step in the direction of all people being chipped. Combine health care, identity protection, credit protection, eliminate printing money, track all bad guys (the gov. decides who that is), and all sounds reasonable, but it’s that mark we’ve been warned of. This will be in conjunction with uniting the world governments under one ruling group, maybe UN or something newer with one leader over them all. Easy to see it unfolding, the final steps, right before our eyes. Total world control.
“Even the FCC has regulations against broadcasting on radio waves. ”
They have since 1936. Get over it.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty and freedom. -Thomas Jefferson
Any questions?
Amen Brother!
The Elected need to be reined into control by the people they work for, (we the voters).
The concept of having cameras in public places does not bother me. If we go out in public, then other people see us and cameras see us. What bothers me big time is what is done with that information. Catch the criminals and terrorists – yeah! Snoop on me, target me for intimidation or worse for my politics, observe that I may have a gun so they can take it away from me, catch me expressing my opinion about the government and throw me in jail – nay!
Your concerns are spot on. I urge everyone to go to infowars.com and get the latest, breaking news about the takeover of America, which you will not see presented on the State run Media. They sold out long ago!!
It’s not enough to know what’s happening(few people are paying attention). You need to find out WHY and by WHOM, it is happening! It will shock you like a sucker punch to the kidneys to find out what the Globalists and the U.N. have planned for America. Another False Flag of immense proportions and THEY will enforce Martial Law, then it’s 1930’s Germany all over again.
Tyranny is at the door like a rabid wolf clawing to get inside our homes and most of the sheeple are watching the telly and commenting,”look Honey, there’s a possum on the porch!”
So true!
AS for the TV and other devices stuff, when Rome was falling those in control gave the people lots of entertainment to distract them from what was really happening.
Sounds to me like the Y2K people are shifting gears!!!
Sounds to me like Richard Mayor has been drinking the Koolaid again. Hope he doesn’t forget to get in cadence when he is goose stepping to the tyrant’s beat.
If the people lead the leaders will follow!
Dee’s comment is right on. She should be scared. I know I am, so what are we going to do about it. We can roll over and play dead, or we can take back our lives, liberty and freedom. However; that’s a capatal WE not a me… I’m in my 70s and won’t have to put up with this much longer, lucky me… I feel sorry for you folks that still have 30, 40, 50 years or more, You’re the ones that will see this country fall, and fall it will unless you put a stop to all of this and reclaim your rights and your country. It’s your life, I hope you can live with it. Carefull you don’t find your selves in an internment camp. Do you remember those?…
As an American and a woman, I am totally creeped out by this. This country is in deep doo doo when they have to track all of us all of the time. And the bill?! Who’s paying for all the spying?! WE are!! We are paying to spy on ourselves. That’s so sick and wrong. I am so deeply sickened that going out makes me cringe. If I wanted to be on candid camera I would have been on that show years ago. This has to stop but its spreading like a wild fire and no one is going to be able to restore our privacy. This is going to lead to genacide I can feel it in my heart and gut. This country is on a road to destruction and we are all just sitting ducks. So wrong, so creepy, so sick. Where do we live again?! Its hard to tell! May God help all those whom are worthy and for the rest, the devil will have his dues.
Come on people, keep the Faith!
The Faith in what – our Government, ourselves, or GOD? Don’t you dare say two out of three ain’t bad.
The second beast in Revelations doesn’t have the eagle’s wings, so, for whatever reason, we aren’t there, whether taken over or destroyed. We need to pray for all, our neighbors, our pastors, police, military, and those in authority. The one verse that gives me hope in this mess is the one that says we’re not appointed to wrath ’cause His wrath is poured out in the last few years before Armageddon. However, no matter how much we may have to endure, what waits for those who belong to God through Jesus, who obey Him, what waits for us is so worth anything. we may have to suffer. I’m a bock bock, so not bragging about being such a strong follower, but He promised we wouldn’t be tempted above what we’re able, but will make a way of escape. I’m trusting in Him. The Word says His strength is made perfect in my weakness. Trusting Him in this.
